PJ hi-fi is delighted to be involved in the Naim Summer Sounds Roadshow on June 18th. We will be previewing the brand new HDX Hard Disc Player along with the exciting SuperLine Phono stage and Power-Line Mains cable. This will be your first opportunity to audition these before official release. Advance orders can be taken on the day in order to obtain yours first.

Call in between 2pm and 8pm and hear five first class Naim Audio systems and have a chat with Naim staff about your hobby. I look forward to seeing you then - please bring a piece of music with you!

The sun was out at the weekend - I saw it! Well, it must have got to us in a big way...

Cyrus Offers...

We are now offering some even more amazing prices on brand new Cyrus stock.

- Cyrus CD8X was £1000, then £700 and now just £650! (Silver and a few Black)

- Cyrus 8VS2 amp sells now for £850, but purchase with a CD8X and get them both for £1325. (Silver and a few Black)

Arcam Offers...

The excellent Arcam A70 amplifier has been reduced from £530 to an amazing low price of £350.

A superb match for this is the Arcam CD73 CD player which has had its price slashed from £450 to a cool £300.

You will also need a pair of speakers to go with these amazing bargains... how about the Quad 11L.2? Only available in Cherry but at a knockdown price of £250, a saving of £130.

There are only limited numbers of all these offers available, all brand new stock, at very special prices - don't delay, call in NOW!

The first ever server from Naim has arrived! Capable of storing your CD collection in an uncompressed format it delivers an unprecedented level of sound quality previously unheard of from conventional computer based server solutions.

Impressively, it can offer sound quality potentially greater than that of the original CD itself by over sampling the disc many times to end up with a correct bit for bit copy.

On the front of the unit a USB connector allows easy connection of your mp3 player/ipod, the NS01 will then instantly add all of the content to the servers music database.

The Hard disc is duplicated to prevent loss of data and further cost effective NAS drives can be added for additional storage space as your collection expands. This is a hugely exciting development for us as it promises to bring server technology to the discerning audiophile for the first time. On demonstration now £3000.

PJ hi-fi are proud to announce another exclusive with the first UK showing of the new JVC HD-100 D-ILA projector.

Improving much of the feature set of the original HD1 projector the HD-100 now has an astonishing contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and full HDMI 1.3 specification inputs.

Please join us from 4pm onwards where the HD-100 will be setup alongside the HD-1 so the improvements that JVC have made can be easily seen, Alex Kobayashi, head of D-ILA projects in Japan will be flying in to answer any questions you may have.

A special promotional price will be available on the evening, please email Elliot for further details.

We've waited a long time... but the best things are worth waiting for and this new home cinema amplifier is definitely one of the best yet!

AV Master 8.0 is an all new surround sound processor/ pre-amplifier of immense sound quality in true Cyrus tradition it's also incredibly easy to use - a much undervalued criteria for us all. Built in the familiar Cyrus magnesium casting which is just 8.5" wide and 3" tall it is compact and neat with an absolute minimum of display and buttons. Included in the design, however, are three amplifier stages to power various speakers in a standard 5.1 or 7.1 cinema design configurable to front, side or rear use. A separate stereo power amp is required to power the remaining two channels in 5.1 modes. Choices here are various; essentially anything from the Cyrus range will do, although as it's most likely to power the front stereo pair, responsible for music playback, it makes sense to have the best one you can afford. A demonstration will enable you to decide. Go for it!

AV Master 8.0 can be connected to an existing preamplifier or operate as a preamplifier on its own and it is capable of delivering superb stereo performance just with a cd player. A stereo bypass function allows the signal path to remain clean, clear, short and pure.

Probably the most surprising feature to consider, bearing in mind all of the above, is the cost of this stunning new addition to the Cyrus range. This is an area where this device will win a lot of new friends! Amplifiers of this quality are not only usually large and complex but typically cost around £1500. So, considering that the Cyrus AV master 8.0 is only £700 and a matching power amp is a minimum of £400; that's £1100 all in. It really is a veritable bargain, almost a steal!

This may well be the star of 2007 and you owe it to yourself to audition it before any alternatives.

Just some of the comments following our first ever Linn Klinik.

" stunning, awesome upgrades... "

" ...they (Linn) have done it once more, I shall be up all night listening to my LPs again! "

" I just came along out of curiosity, and left with almost a new turntable, brilliant!... "

" ...new levels of enjoyment. Thank you Linn and PJ Hifi... "

Rest assured, we will be doing more, so please contact us if you have an LP12 and discover what you have been missing. In the meantime, call, or email Alan for a demonstration, and we can have a quick look at your LP12 and advise regarding any servicing issues and possible upgrades.
You can also get in touch with us and be added to our mailing list for future events.
We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Introducing the brand new Dila projector currently amazing all viewers. With both horizontal and vertical lens shift (+/- 80% vertical and +/- 34% Horizontal), along with an astonishing 15000:1 contrast ratio without the need for an iris this new model can provide amazing white detail next to inky blacks without any brightness compression.

The high quality lens uses 16 elements in 13 groups to significantly reduce lens aberration and ensure perfect focus, it also has a huge throw ratio, for example, a 100" screen would mean the HD1 can be positioned from 3 to 6m away.

PJ Hi-fi would like to invite you to an audition of the fabulous new offering from Arcam.

The long awaited Solo Movie 5.1 has now arrived at our store in Guildford, and of course is on permanent demonstration. All you have to do is call in, telephone or e-mail and we will arrange a listening and viewing session.

We have a wide range of loudspeakers that will match up with the Solo movie and you can decide which combination is the one for you in our comfortable home cinema room, and test drive our new sofa at the same time!

Don't forget, we can also organise the delivery and installation of your selected system, and ensure that you get the very best from your investment.

Solo Movie 5.1 is an exciting development of the existing Solo Music 'one box solution' that has proven so successful since its launch twelve months ago. Solo Movie 5.1 represents a considerable advance for owners of Solo Music as well as for newcomers to Arcam wishing to minimize the box count without compromising performance.

A few of the major features Solo Movie provides:
- 5 x 50 Watts of Linear amplification for stunning movie and music playback, along with full pre-outs for future upgradability.
- Dolby and DTS decoding algorithms for processing of both the internal DVD drive and also from external sources, e.g. Sky HD.
- DAB Digital radio alongside both AM/FM tuners.
- SACD/DVDA playback offering higher resolution audio than a conventional CD in both stereo and surround formats.
- Flexible Connectivity, with both HDMI and component video switching alongside coaxial, optical and analogue audio inputs.
- Video upscaling up to 1080i for DVD playback, providing increased resolution to your display device.
- All of the Ipod docking functionality that the original Solo Music contained.

PJ hi-fi is pleased to announce the imminent arrival of the Sony VPL-VW100's new sibling, the VPL-VW50. This new unit codenamed 'Pearl' during development is a stunning breakthrough in performance for its price point.

The projector is of course 1080p thanks to Sony's third generation SXRD technology with .61-inch panels (the same as VW100) and sports a dynamic contrast ratio of 15,000:1 with the static contrast ratio of 5,000:1, and a dynamic iris with all new algorithms.

Unlike its bigger brother a 200-watt UHP Lamp is being utilized rather than a xenon unit which has been a key factor in hitting the unit's key price point.

Following the highly successful launch event last week we are pleased to announce the price for this unit is £3350. The pre order list is filling quickly, but we still have units available for delivery in the first UK batch, call now to avoid dissapointment!

Further specifications and details will appear here shortly so keep checking back regularly for the biggest projector launch of the year!

This DVD and AV amplifier combination adds to Arcam's growing reputation for fabulous cinema design.

As usual the priority is for fantastic sound and picture over superfluous features and unnecessary complication. Musically they both represent the best that this amount of money can buy. Important new features: DVDA, SACD playback to access the new high resolution audio media. In addition the picture on the latest generation of plasmas, projectors and LCD display devices is dramatically improved with the inclusion of an onboard Scaler. On demonstration now.
